J. Portugal Ramos 2009 Marquês de Borba Reserva Red (Alentejo)
- $75
A delicious, smooth wine, all rounded fruit and sweetness to go with the more determined tannins that lie beneath. With great concentration, the wine has a feeling of power while preserving a core of juicy acidity and sweet red plum juice.

An impressive, serious wine that shows great ripe fruits, concentrated tannins and a solid edge of wood aging. It is finely structured, its richness not taking away from its balance, although it certainly is no wimp. Enjoy with hearty meals.

J. Portugal Ramos 2005 Vila Santa Red (Alentejano)

Mint aromas, followed by young, fresh fruit topped with firm tannins, make an impressively dense wine from one of Portugal’s top winemakers. Flavors of mint and eucalyptus go with dark black fruits and concentration.

J. Portugal Ramos 2003 Quinta da Viçosa Red (Alentejano)
From the hot 2003 vintage, this has big, superripe fruit, but manages to keep everything in check with vibrant fruit and elegance. The black fruits, powered and concentrated, also have acidity and great perfumes from the Touriga Nacional.

J. Portugal Ramos 2006 Vila Santa Red (Alentejano)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Always an impressive wine, this latest vintage of Vila Santa shows its class. There is a fine balance between superrich fruit, which is then shaped by dry tannins and fresh, mouth-tingling acidity. It has a great structure, and will certainly age over 3–4 years.

J. Portugal Ramos 2008 Vila Santa Reserva Red (Alentejano)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Big, tough tannins and dark brooding fruits give this wine a great sense of restrained power. It has firm muscles, offering support to the plush blue berry, currant and dark plum skins. It need good aging, at least over three years.

J. Portugal Ramos 2009 Vila Santa Reserva Red (Alentejano)
- $20
An intensely structured wine, surrounded by a cushion of sweet, jammy fruits. The wine is warm and rich, with a tarry smoky character as well as acidity. It should be aged for another 2–3 years.

J. Portugal Ramos 2006 Quinta da Viçosa T.M. Red (Alentejano)
- $40
The T is for Touriga Nacional, the Merlot for Merlot, and the two blend easily into a wine that revels in the perfumes and tight tannins of the Touriga and the smoothness of ripe Merlot. The fruit is black, dense, but not too powerful, leaving fresh ripeness as well as a dry, tannic structured core.
